Circuitry Man (1990)
THE FINAL FRONTIER IS NOT OUTER SPACE. IT IS THE HUMAN MIND.
In the future, humanity has moved underground to escape the pollution. One of the few pleasures left is a narcotic in the form of computer chips which can be plugged directly into the brain. Lori, a female body guard, steals a case of these chips and flees to New York with Danner, a pleasure android. In their pursuit is Plughead, a dangerous criminal so named because of the many sockets and ports which decorate his scalp.

This is what I needed in my day. Thank you
A really solid dystopian roadtrip movie starring Jim Metzler, Vernon Wells and Dana Wheeler-Nicholson.
Circuitry Man should be available for streaming in North American on Amazon.
Why haven't I seen this? Sounds like fun.
I usually end up making this movie a double feature in my house with "Cherry 2000", "The Bad Batch", or "Tank Girl". Wasteland punk vibes.
Awesome! I still need to check out The Bad Batch, but pairing this with Cherry 2000 or Tank Girl should work very well.
Might also pair well with Hardware?
Love the Centronics connector in the forehead (now that's High Tech!) /s
Haha this looks crazy. I love it. I'll watch it tonight
Amazing thank you.
And thank you for your wonderful contributions to 20th century literature. You're my favourite novelist! ;)
